DELL PowerEdge R750 2U 12-Bay 3.5" 2x Xeon Silver 4316 2.3GHz 20C 1TB DDR4

PowerEdge R750 2U server for enterprise workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive enterprise applications. Dual Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors provide 40 total cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo capability. The system ships with 1 TB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 32 DIMM slots. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables comprehensive remote management for datacentre operations.

PCIe Gen4 bandwidth and HBA storage limits

The PERC HBA355i controller provides SAS 12 Gb/s pass-through connectivity without RAID functionality for the 12 front-accessible 3.5-inch drive bays. PCIe Gen4 doubles I/O bandwidth compared to previous generations for faster data transfer rates. The Broadcom 57412 dual-port 10 GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 network adapter supports high-speed connectivity. Memory speed is capped at 2666 MHz despite 3200 MT/s platform support.

1 TB DDR4 determines virtualization density

Installed memory of 1 TB using 32x 32 GB DDR4 modules sets the practical limit for concurrent virtual machines and in-memory databases. The 2 TB maximum capacity allows future expansion within the 32 available DIMM slots. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation. Buyers needing higher core counts per socket or NVMe-optimised storage should evaluate alternative configurations.
